Acer Chromebook Spin 11 review, photos & price

Chromebooks are specially designed and built for classroom use. It is ordinary to see laptops which are educational-focused, where kids can be so rough on it, to be specially made with sturdy materials. The Acer Chromebook spin 11 fits right into these features and the bill. With its MIL-STD 810G compliance, Acer Chromebook spin 11 features a never-been-seen spill-proof typing keyboard coupled with a convertible hinge (360-degree).

Convertible Chromebooks have not really changed over the years, but Acer has continued to redefine and eventually improve the designs. On the first Acer convertible, Acer R11, rubber nubbins were placed at every corner of the laptop, reducing the friction between the keyboard and the ground when it is in convertible display mode.

Display and Design

Acer Chromebook spin 11, in short, is rough and tough. Its display is made of the corning’s gorilla glass. The book features an 11-6-inch HD display with a res of 1,366 x 768 pixel. Considering the dimension of the Chromebook spin 11, it is slightly heavy, but be assured its nothing to worry about. It has chassis made of durable plastic, with rubber nubbins around its edges. According to Acer, Acer Chromebook spin 11 specifications are militarily certified, meaning it can endure rough surroundings and abuse.

Around the bezel sports the720p webcam which is placed at the upper centre of the display. Right above the keyboard, there is another camera meant to be used during the laptop mode to capture exciting moment and video. Its touchpad is not glossy but really smooth and has no problem with palm rejection.

We all know that electronic devices and liquid do not mix. Underneath the keyboard is drainage holes that allow easy run through of spilt water that eventually ends into a pool of liquid on the ground. By this, the keyboard is considered spill-proof.

It appears that spin 11 is one of the first Chromebooks to use Intel Apollo lake family of processors. Having 4 GB RAM and 32 GB file storage make the Spin 11 the right choice for students.

With a battery capacity of 4870 mAh, the books last about 12 hours on a single full charge, so you need not to always carry your charger about
